Crossing Flood PlainsThe inland parts of NSW has large areas that are relatively flat. These areas are crossed by small creeks that often are dry or nearly so. When the infrequent rains come though they soon break their banks and flood the surrounding area. Building a railway through these areas was not easy. The solution was to build much of it on low embankments with low but long bridges over the watercourses. A tour train crosses one of these low bridges on the Boree Creek line. See details of the line here. The host / guide for this tour was the one time Deputy Prime Minister of Australia (and local farmer) Tim Fischer. Check out cewatticey for another shot of the train. 3:34 PM - 8/5/2007 - post comment
